With Chip away We visit with old friend and contributor Bryan Roth as he tells us tales of his recent visit to Europe and gives us the latest news from This is Why I’m Drunk. He brings us a beer from his and Tony’s homeland, Ithaca’s Flower Power,plus we continue our journey with Port Brewing and Lost Abbey as we sampleMongo,Shark Attack,Serpent StoutandJudgement Day.

The summer sun is blazing so we invited our friend John Beal from the snowy north to cool us down with some delicious ciders! We get the latest scoop on what’s happening at Blake’s Cider Co. and sample a few new offerings from the orchard. Wakefire and Auroraare perfect for a hot summer day and we managed to hang on to anEl Chapo and Santeto share with our listeners as well!

Not every brewer has the patience and talent to lead with lagers, and we lucked out this week with one who does it so well - Kyle Williams from Brevard Brewing! Kyle talks with us about his background, the founding of his brewery, and has some terrific brews for us: American Premium Lager, flagship Bohemian Pilsner, and Munich Dunkel!
